I am not necessarily looking for the same plot, pairing, or magical ideas. What I want is another story that creates a similar feeling of watching two people build their relationship, personalities, power, and entire future together.

The most important requirement is an early starting point.

Ideally, the story should begin:

Harry’s escape tasted of copper and forlorn hope.

He ran through narrow streets he didn’t know, past shuttered houses with dark windows and locked doors. The cobblestones were slick and uneven under his feet, and the light from the lanterns threw long, jumping shadows across the walls.

Behind him in the manor, a Death...

Harry and the two Dumbledores entered the room, and Mrs. Cole closed the door on them.

The room was bare: the iron bedstead, the wooden chair, the old wardrobe in the corner, a window giving onto a flat grey London afternoon. Nothing in it looked as though it belonged to anyone. Even the book the boy on the bed was holding had a library spine, the cloth rubbed pale at the corners where many hands had carried it before his.
